Answer 2

1100 boys were in the parade

Explanation:

1650 students took part in a parade, there were twice as many boys as girls

B = number of boys

G = number of girls

B + G = 1650

We know that there were twice as many boys as girls, so

B = 2G

G = (1/2)b (substitute this into B+G = 1650)

B + 1/2B = 1650

After solving, we know that there were 1100 boys
